You may experience the wondrous Blue Lagoon and explore the historic Golden Circle, birthplace of Iceland’s democracy, or you may discover the wonders of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula

This island nation is renowned for its geological marvels and natural beauty, from hot springs and spouting geysers to lush, green landscapes and stark, imposing mountains. Hike or Zodiac cruise to the base of Dynjandi, a spectacular waterfall. Visit the isle of Heimaey to hike up to a volcanic crater for incredible views.
